Witness to war: five photographers discuss their images from Syria

’This picture was taken right on the front line, so only the fighters were
still occupying the buildings as positions. All the civilians had gone. At
some points we were only 200 yards from government lines. You could hear the
soldiers and the rebels shouting to each other, to join the army or join the
opposition. It’s quite dangerous, because of the snipers. They are always
moving, so if you are not with someone who has told you exactly where they
are, you can cross a street and get shot in a second.’
